A project team from Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) recently developed a prototype flywheel storage system that can store electrical energy and provide fast charging capabilities. Flywheels are considered one of the world's oldest forms of energy storage, yet they are still relevant today.
The use of new materials and compact designs will increase the specific energy and energy density to make flywheels more competitive to batteries. Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel's secondary functionality apart from energy storage.
FESS has been integrated with various renewable energy power generation designs. Gabriel Cimuca et al. proposed the use of flywheel energy storage systems to improve the power quality of wind power generation. The control effects of direct torque control (DTC) and flux-oriented control (FOC) were compared.
Flywheel energy storage technology is a mechanical energy storage form. It works by accelerating the rotor (flywheel) at a very high speed. This maintains the energy as kinetic energy in the system. This technology has high power and energy density, rapid response and is highly efficient in comparison to pumped hydro or compressed air.
The Dinglun Flywheel Energy Storage Power Station, the World's Largest Flywheel Energy Storage Project, represents a significant step forward in sustainable energy. Its role in grid frequency regulation and support for renewable energy will help stabilize power systems as China continues to increase its reliance on wind and solar energy.
